    Carey Elwes from when I was a kid would be perfect, but he's gotten quite a bit older now.

    Check out this pic

    Ryan Gosling would have the look if he shaved, but I've never seen him act in anything, so I don't know if he'd have the personality right.

    All these actors are too old. you need someone who will still be a teen when the film gets made. So I pick Cayden Boyd.

    If this person (Monica Belluci) played the part as guybrush I'd watch the movie:

    Aaaww, look! He's even wearing that pirate chemise Guybrush wore in SMI. And he's got the original lovable dork looks on his face. *sigh* Cute.

    Re: Cary Elwes

    Lucky this is a fantasy casting and so we can have him exactly as he was circa Princess Bride and Men in Tights :D

    Dom Armato in a Guybrush suit!
  • edited October 2009
    I agree. I think Dominic Armato IS the real Guybrush...

    Chesney Hawkes always reminded me of Guybrush:

    If we could resurrect Graham Chapman at the right age, then he'd be perfect as Guybrush Threepwood.

    I've always thought that a real Guybrush would be a sort of David Schwimmer's character in "Friends"

    damn he really does look like Guybrush... and his Robin Hood movie was great so :D... he's got my vote.

    The problem is, that film was about 16 years ago...I doubt he looks the same now.

    I reckon for the ability to play the right age, its gotta be Justin Long. He could handle the humour and you can see him trying to claim to be a mighty pirate.

    Neil Patrick Harris would have been perfect and almost just almost could pass for the right age, you know, if you squinted and tilted your head to the left!

    Funny, when I first saw this pic I thought "No way!" But now, I can see it... Add a scruffy beard and it might just work! :D

    But to be honest... I don't think Monkey Island would work as a life action movie with real people. Animation & original voice cast would be the only way.

    As a Psych fan, I always thought he would make a fantastic Stan.

    I thought this would have been obvious.

    if you ever see any of his stand up/tv apparences he acts quite like him too, very innocent in his nature

    Orlando is way too pretty to be Guybrush... Guybrush needs to be slightly nerdy.

    Woah... I never thought about that. Michael Cera would be the perfect
    Guybrush...

    I've had a strong dislike for Orlando Bloom ever since I found out in an interview that he doesn't know how to work a coffee brewer >>.

    I can't believe they let people like that out of the pond.....

    We can't have someone with such an obvious flaw in their character play someone as awesome as Guybrush, sorry ;)
  • edited October 2009
    Are you kidding? I'm not a huge Orlando Bloom fan, but knowing that he's just a bit useless makes him seem like a better fit for Guybrush than I originally thought.

    I was always a bit "meh" about Orlando Bloom until he appeared on Extras and did a great job making fun of himself. I'm still kinda ambivalent, but have to give him credit for not taking himself too seriously.

    You're right. If he was a bit more nerdy, I think Jesse Spencer would be great for Telltale's Guybrush...
    He's even baggy under the eyes like him...

    But Guybrush isn't a pretty boy like a lot of these suggestions...

    Have you seen the box art for Secret of Monkey Island? Guybrush IS a pretty boy.
  • edited October 2009
    I think Micheal Cera is the best suggestion of actors currently the correct age.... Either him or the guy from Zombieland...

    Wow I never noticed those "movie" posters! Those are fun. I don't know who the old guy in the corner is but his crazy eyes remind me of Emmett Brown.

    Erm...I think that is Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown (in the old west, look at his clothes) with a Photoshopped beard. Wouldn't swear to it, though.

    As for Orlando Bloom, I'd say that Jack was more the one who was acting like a Monkey Island character. "Look at gear. Look at goat. Use hot iron with goat. Use handcuffs with gear. Use Manual of Style with goat." Wait a minute...

    And I agree, animated movie with the original voice cast is the only way to go. No matter what actor you find, it would never feel right without the voices of Dominic Armato, Alexandra Boyd, and Earl Boen. Just look at Escape (Charity James as Elaine) the start of Narwhal (Adam Harrington as LeChuck).

    Though I would absolutely say that Adam Harrington came way closer than Charity James. But on the other hand, it's not her fault she was an American hired to do the voice of a character who's supposed to have a British accent.
